Windows 7: Realtek onboard sound. No sound

I don't know how to title this too well but yeah.
I have been using a USB headset for quite some time but I recently purchased some Audio Technica ADH-700's. I've plugged them in and woolah!..
Just kidding.. No sound at all

But now I've got a 3.5mm jack headphones and a 3.5mm Microphone in the mail I don't need the usb way. So I've gone back (Well I hope) to the settings before the thread but nothing happens.
I have tried reinstalling multipul Realtek HD Audio things..

Have you reinstalled the ASUS supplied Realtek driver? In most cases the vendor (in this case motherboard vendor) driver works best. Non Vendor drivers can either not work or not work correctly.

Do you have the Audio Playback set correctly? The "Speakers" (in this case Realtek) should be set as the Default Audio Playback Device in the Sound Panel.

Also while you are in the Sound Panel, go to the Recording section and set the Stereo Mix as the default recording device.

Finally, make sure you have the front panel headphone/mic jack correctly connected to the motherboard front panel audio jack. The "HD Audio" connector from the front panel should be used (some also have an AC97 or only have an AC97 and that should only be used if there is no HD Audio).

Are the speakers (internal sound card), as I've shown, set as default playback device?

Assuming you have the correct drivers installed, the main thing left is the Avermedia. Physically remove that, for testing, and see if you can get the front panel jacks to work. You have to break it down to the least components and start from there. Once you have it working with the basic components you can then add other things, such as the Avermedia.

Hey, Sorry for the late reply I've been away from my computer for a little bit.
I've taken out my Capture Card completely. My internal sound card is set as the default playback device.. Still no Audio. Through the front jack there is a weird sort of high pitch quiet sound going through them. But at the back nothing.

Use MUA (Microsoft Universal audio driver ) now it depends the Operating system you have if you have upgraded your OS than it can be the problem you can send a screenshot of your system info it wil be a great help :)
